	Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geotechnical engineers investigate the soil and bedrock below a site to confirm their engineering properties as they will relate to the proposed costruction.
		Geotechnical engineers also assess the risk to humans, property and the environment from natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, sinkholes, debris flows, and rock falls (all involving natural materials).
		Geotechnical Engineering is also applicable to coastal and ocean engineering applications, such as construction of wharves, marinas, jetties, as well as foundation/anchor systems for offshore structures such as oil platforms.

		Geotechnical engineering encompasses engineering in soil and rock, the use of soil, rock, and geosynthetic materials for construction, and protection and enhancement of groundwater and the soil/water environment.
		Geotechnical engineering embraces the fields of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, geological engineering, rock mechanics, engineering geology, environmental geotechnics, groundwater engineering, and earthquake engineering.
		Geotechnical engineering is also centrally concerned with fluid flow through soil and rock masses, geological factors affecting groundwater flow and contaminant transport, groundwater remediation, and design and construction of waste disposal facilities.

	Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Beside the traditional areas of foundation engineering, earth structures, underground excavations, land subsidence, and landslide mitigations, geotechnical engineers and researchers are increasingly involved in new and dynamic areas of ground improvement, geosynthetic engineering, land reclamation, lightweight materials, forensic engineering and the effective recycling of waste materials.
		Furthermore, geotechnical engineers are increasingly challenged to solve environmental problems related to the reduction of construction wastes, provision of efficient waste disposal facilities, clean-up of contaminated sites as well as geological related hazards such as landslides and erosion.
		Engineering and Applied Geology provides sound knowledge of geological principles, rock mechanics and geophysical techniques and their applications to civil engineering work, mineral and energy exploration and development, land subsidence, and natural hazard mitigation.

	Geotechnical Engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Although several competent geotechnical engineering firms typically are available to an architect or civil engineer, the experience, skills, and technical resources of these firms never are identical.
		Of all project participants, geotechnical engineers are in the best position to indicate what that work should consist of, based on their own unique experience and skills.
		As a result, the geotechnical workscopes created by architects and civil engineers are far more susceptible to errors or omissions, thus creating unnecessary and wholly avoidable professional liability exposures for themselves and all other members of the design team.

	Engineers
		Engineering technology graduates, however, are not qualified to register as professional engineers under the same terms as graduates with degrees in engineering.
		About 555,000 engineering jobs were found in manufacturing industries, and another 378,000 wage and salary jobs were in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, primarily in architectural, engineering, and related services and in scientific research and development services.
		It is important for engineers, as it is for those working in other technical and scientific occupations, to continue their education throughout their careers because much of their value to their employer depends on their knowledge of the latest technology.

		Research in geotechnical engineering at UNH concentrates on field and laboratory measurements of the material properties required to predict how different soils will behave under the loads applied by a structure.
		UNH geotechnical faculty and students have been involved for several years in designing, installing and monitoring instruments for a field site on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.
		Unfortunately, very little geotechnical information is retrieved from these borings since the great majority of boreholes are carried out to perform such tasks as installation of monitoring wells, water wells, deep foundations and instrumentation.
